RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT UP TO NOVEMBER 1957
A review is given of the monitoring in Norway of airborne activity and fallout
of radioactive dust; also radioactive contamination in drinking water is reported.

RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT OVER THE SCANDINAVIAN PENINSULA BETWEEN
JULY AND DECEMBER 1956
In this report, fallout and rain precipitation figures over the Scandinavian
peninsula are discussed. Accumulated monthly fallout is reported for the period
July -December 1956.

four stations in Poland.

ORGANIZATION AND RESULTS IN RADIOBIOLOGICAL RESEARCH WORKIN

THE ROMANIAN PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC

Describes the following:
1. and 2. Protective effect of narcosis during irradiation only.
3. After 325 r, up to 11 days narcosis increases biological effects (does not
state what criteria of biological effect).
4. Hibernation (25°C) protects. Hibernation between 18° to 25°C enhances
effect. Does not state if this is during or after irradiation.
5. Hematological tests for 350 r.

Ne ARS

6. Caffeine or aktedron during irradiation enhances effect; caffeine or

aktedron after irradiation diminishes effect.
Suggests roentgenotherapy under conditions of protection (narcosis). Gives
programmefor radiobiology research in 1956-1957.

REPORT OF 15 PARTS
The fifteen sections cover: consumption of the doses to the gonads of the
population from various sources; thorough survey of natural radioactivity including estimates of weekly dose-rates; measurements of gammaradiation from

the human body; measurements of fallout (1953-1956) including total beta

activity, gamma ray spectrum, and migration of Sr® into soils, plants, and

grazing animals, content of certain isotopes as well as research upon certain
related physical quantities; considerations of occupational (medical) exposures.

Methods used are extensively described throughout.

A SUGGESTED PROCEDURE FOR THE COLLECTION OF RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT
Proposes new method for evaluation of the external thirty-year dose due to the
deposition of gamma-emitting isotopes, based upon a single beta measurement
